Ubisoft has just released additional downloadable content for the recently released Xbox 360 Naruto game. Fans of the original anime series can now download the Japanese voices by the original voice actors for use in Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. This pack includes minor characters as well as major characters, like Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Gaara. The pack is a free download, but an Xbox Live silver account is required to get it.

Acquiring the voices is fairly simple. First sign into Xbox Live, then start the game like you normally would. When the main menu comes up choose to go to the Xbox Live Marketplace and select the Japanese voice package as a download. Once that is finished, the Japanese voices can be chosen instead of the English one in the options menu.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is the first Naruto game to appear on the Xbox 360. It is a combination of a traditional platformer, adventure title, and fighting game which allows players to follow the Naruto series storyline, tackle missions, or fight against friends. The characters are also all customizeable, as they can each learn new techniques and use different weapons. The game was released October 30, 2007, is rated Teen and retails for $59.99.

Ubisoft was wise to make this a free download. I doubt many people would be willing to actually pay money just for a different set of voices. Of course there are a lot of anime purists out there who prefer the original Japanese voice actors over the American ones, so maybe it would be worth the money to some people.
